The tweets were flagged by a Republican strategist in response to earlier CNN reporting which had uncovered racist comments made by President Donald Trump's newest Treasury Department spokesperson.
A CNN photo editor resigned on Thursday after anti-Semitic tweets from 2011 resurfaced where, among other things, he called the victims of a 2011 terror attack in Jerusalem"Jewish pigs." The editor, Mohammed Elshamy, says he was 16 at the time.
The tweets were flagged by Republican strategist Arthur Schwartz, an apparent response to earlier CNN reporting which had uncovered racist comments made by President Donald Trump's newest Treasury Department spokesperson, Monica Crowley. "I want to unequivocally express my apology to everyone, especially those in the Jewish community, who were offended by the tweets," he said."These views, which I posted when I was 16, are ones I no longer hold and have not held for many years.
